Rest easy Leo! I’ll miss you. Seems just like last week you had me laughing at the barbershop, clowning me about those 10 minutes. You’ve always inspired me… The smooth walk, the more clean and crispy suits and shoes. Man…. My condolences to the family, you will all be in my prayers. Love you all.

Leo and Leah were the first to welcome me into the family. They were always kind and treated me the same despite me parting ways. I don’t think I ever saw Leo without a smile on his face or his arms outstretched for a hug. May his memories help keep him alive in everyone’s hearts.
